pbc staff

  • Andrew Brown - senior pastor

    Andrew is obviously a big fan of Pakuranga Baptist Church.  Originally from down south he is a massive fan of Auckland too.  He mixes his interest in preaching and leadership with a deep desire to see people grow spiritually.  Senior Pastor since 1995, Andrew trained as a Spiritual Director and Professional Supervisor.  He is on the Northern Baptist Association Board.  

    Andrew is married to Nan Yong and has a teenage son, Wesley. He loves hiking in the bush, running, dining out and driving his old MX5 with the top down as much as he can.


  • VACANT - children & families pastor


  • PETER HUANG - MANDARIN FELLOWSHIP PASTOR

    Peter is our Mandarin Pastor and moved here from Shenzhen, China in 2001.  Married to Shinyi they have three adorable children, Grace, Caleb, and Ian. Apart from enjoying time with his family, Peter enjoys a good game of soccer for Fencibles United AFC and an occasional movie.  A graduate of Carey Baptist College, Peter is called to help Mandarin Chinese speakers who want to know God and discover the truth in the Bible. Peter grew up without knowledge of God and having discovered how much God loves us, he wants to share this love and hope with many people.
